Only one candidate is running for House District 40 in Portland, although two names will appear on the ballot.
Democrat Rachel Talbot Ross is unopposed in the race to represent District 40, which includes portions of the East Bayside, West Bayside, Parkside and Oakdale neighborhoods. Ross is the longtime head of the Portland chapter of the NAACP and formerly served as Portland’s director of equal opportunity and multicultural affairs until her abrupt departure last year.
She won a three-way Democratic primary race in June to fill the seat of Rep. Benjamin Chipman, a Democrat who is running for Senate District 27.
The Republican candidate in District 40, Carol Taylor, withdrew from the race Sept. 30. However, Taylor’s name will still appear on the ballot because her withdrawal came less than 70 days before the election.
